This is another ant given to us to image by Brian Fisher (www.calacademy.org/science/heroes/bfisher /) an entomologist at the California Academy of Sciences. This is a frontal view, straight on of its head. The ant is magnified 200x using a scanning electron microscope.

This Gigapan is part of the NanoGigaPan project. Which is working to take large pictures of very small things.
